The BLVD Festival, Montreal’s not-to-be-missed family event, returns for its 8th edition from Thursday August 28 to Sunday August 31.
All weekend long, enjoy free activities on the pedestrian boulevard for all ages:
From August 28 to 31, Saint-Laurent Boulevard, between Sherbrooke and Mont-Royal, will be transformed into a pedestrian zone for the 8th edition of the BLVD Festival! Over four days, enjoy free activities for all ages: archery, Volley Pong, water rolling, creative workshops, a kids’ face painting corner, skateboard and scooter lessons with the TAZ, an ice cream treasure hunt with our partner creameries, and even the much-anticipated return of the Corgi Pawty with nearly 200 corgis parading down the street.
There’s something for everyone: play, explore, stroll, eat well and celebrate summer together, right in the heart of the boulevard!
